There is a weird clicking sound coming from, probably, my crankset or somewhere around. Always when the right arm is between 1 and 2 o'clock and only when the bike is... dry! Yesterday I got caught with the rain and the sound was gone. Once the bike started drying, the sound came back. I checked all the bolts, lubed the chain, checked cleats, drivetrain, simply everything. It's a bbright frame with campy sr 11s, power2max rotor 3d crank and look blade pedals. Any ideas what can cause this problem? Am I missing sth?

check your cleat/shoe/pedal interfaces, there is a guy I ride with that every time he hits a slope and starts really pulling up with his pedal stroke his left pedal clicks in about the same position. If you typically pedal in a circle (not mashing) I would guess you could potentially have the same clicking sound all the time?

I had the identical problem on my RS- and the noise went away in the rain. I pulled everything apart and checked the usual suspects; derailleur hanger screws, BB threads, dry skewers, loose/dry cassette, chainring bolts, pedals/cleats, seatpost/seat rails and on and on.The culprit? The headset upper compression sleeve (aluminium) had just a faint bit of corrosion on it and was "clicking" on the carbon steerer (3T fork). A little bit of white lithium grease and the sound went away. I had the identical issue on my Giant and instead of ripping everything apart, I immediately looked at the headset. Same deal.Is it humid where you live? If you are out in the rain does your bike have a chance to dry out before it is used again?

Guys, guys - thanks for your input! BB cups were properly installed using primer and loctite by my LBS so I hope it's not the cause. I'm not at home until Sunday, but when I come back I'll check the pedals' threads and headset. Looking at the website posted by one of you I think I'll have to spend whole day with the bike on the stand checking whether sound is gone or not.

Will report in a while if anything helped and what was the cause of this annoying sound ;]
